Alexia P.O.V

"Who's Luke?" I spat, although I didn't mean to sound rude but I was more confused then ever right now. As I said that a blonde hair boy and a really pale white and black hair boy walked in. Although I didn't know who the pale boy was, I knew exactly who the blonde one was. "What is he doing here?" This time I did mean to sound rude. Although the boy looked older then I last remember, I still knew who he was. The look on his face dropped when I said that, he looked like he had just seen a ghost. My mum, once again gasped but I dont understand why this time. She knows all about my feelings towards him. He runs out, and my mum gets up and runs after him. "Ash, wait!" she calls. The pale boy stands their akwardly looking down at his feet. He was quite tall, and looked like he would love to be anywhere else but here right now. Because it was only me and him in the room i decided to find out who he was. "Um..hey?" I say, my voice sounding quite raspy. He looks up more confused then anyone I had ever seen before but his eyes seemed to shine in hope for something. "Hey" Is all he says. "Agh..I was just wondering.. um.. whats your nam-" before I could finish he's face dropped also, he looked back down to the ground and didnt say a word. I felt bad for him, although I didn't understand why. After a minute of silence passed, the boy, with out looking up spoke "you don't remember me..do you?" I have never even seen you before in my life? I thought to myself. "No, sorry I dont." He doesnt say anything for a bit then finally as he begins walking towards the door he says one last thing. "How about Luke?" Who is this Luke? for all I know hes the reason why Im here? "I dont know a luke." I say. Then he just walks out the door with out saying anything. 

My Mum soon comes back into the room, with out Ashton. I give a little sigh of relife and of course she had to hear me. She begain crying which I didnt understand because she knew me and him hate each other more than anything.

*Flashback*

"WHY DO THEY HAVE TO COME HERE!" I yell at my mum, as she stands in the door way of my bedroom. My room wasnt to small but it wasnt to big either. It had light blue walls that were covered in posters from magazines, my desk with a computer on it was in one corner, my single bed in the middle and a bean bag next to the window. I had a small walk-in cuboard which all my clothes and other stuff were kept in. "Because thats what normally happens when people get married, Lexi." She says back to me. She sounds like shes trying to stay calm, but I know Im pushing every single one of her buttons. "I dont want them to!" I yell again. My mum and her fionce are getting married in two days and in two days him and his annyoing son were moving in. I didn't really mind Mark that much, although I dont let my mum know that, but his son Ashton.. well we hated each other. He is two years older then me and I still want to punch him in the face. The first time I ever met him was when Mark and him came over for dinner the night he proposed to my mum. I was actually excited to meet Ashton, until he came in my room and made fun of every thing in there. I had a bunch of  toy bears I know longer played with but kept in my room anyways, one that I had gotten from my Dad before he died, which sat on the shelf to look after me. no one and I mean NO one was allowed to touch it, only me. But who had to go put his sticky fingers all over my stuff? That dick Ashton. "AW whos this?" he says swinging the bear round and round. "PUT HIM DOWN!" I yell. but he didn't. So I kind-of, May-have tackled him to the ground and punched him in the face a few times. At that time I was eleven and I wasn't allowed to swear, but the words that came out of my mouth that night got me in more trouble then ever. Ashton was so shocked at me attacking him he hardly even fought back. By the time he did, my mum and Mark came running in. They pulled us apart but I kept yelling stuff at him. "YOUR THE BIGGEST FUCKING JERK FACE DICK I HAVE EVER MET!" "ALEXIA!" My mum shouted at me. She never called me that unless it was about something serious or if i was in big trouble. I didnt take my eyes of Ashton as he still held the bear. But what I saw now that I didnt see before was that he had ripped the arm off him. And I lost in even more then before. But before I could even get to him my mum had grabbed me and took me out of the room. I got in more trouble then ever, Even though I told her what he had done with the bear my Dad gave me, she didnt even care... Ashton and me havn't gotten along since. And the Day they both moved in, was the day I had been dreading. 

*end of flashback*

"Lexi?" My mum says finally after she stops crying. "yeah?" is all I say. "You and Ash..." she stops talking for a bit, but then continues. "You and Ash are actually really close." WHAT! I cant believe what she had just said. Since when did this happen! She must have been able to tell what I was thinking from my face because she spoke again. "When you started high school for the first time, there were these boys that were the sons of some men your dad use to know.. They were a few years older and they would tease you and physically attack you because of your dad. You never told us this, but one day Ashton saw it happen, and he got suspened from school because he got into a huge fight with the boys. He broke on of the boys noes and fractured the other one jaw. Even though he was standing up for you, he still got into trouble for fighting, but the boys were expelled. You and Ash have been best friends ever since. You were never apart and did everything together." Tears started falling down her face again, but I remembered none of what she had just told me. I take my eyes of her and look around the room again, when something caught my eye, even though it was on the table right next to me. A little card sat there next to the bear from my dad. "Lexi, look who I fixed ;) sorry it took so long, but he's here for when you wake up. Love ash xx'" I put the card down, and I was in shock. How did I not remember any of this? I then pick up the bear and just stare at it for a bit. Dad would want me to do the right thing. All though I Dont remember any of this I still have to do the right thing, cause hey? Im sixteen apperently now so.. "Mum? can you go get Ashton for me please?"

She stops crying suddenly and quickly gets up. Shes gone and back in a few seconds with Ashton next to her. "um can you please give us a minute?" I say to my mum. She walks out of the room with out saying anything as Ashton takes a seat. He's the first to talk. "Your not going to attack me like the first time we met, are you?" He says it in a joking way but at the same time you could tell her was serious. A give a little laugh. "No, not right now." I say, He even looks to relax a bit more after I say that. "Even though I-" I begin to say but stop for a bit. I then continue after I know what to say. "Even though I dont rememebr everything thats happend, My mum has told me some stufff, and I know my dad would want me to do the right thing." At this point I dont even notice I'm crying. "Thankyou for everything, and even though I've only been told some of the stuff that you have done for me... I know there more I dont yet know or remember about, and I'm sorry I dont remem-" He cuts me off. "Dont. Dont appologise for not remembering, its not your fault. Dont appologise for anything." At this point he has gotten up and is giving me a hug. I hug him back more tears falling from my face. After a bit I finally pull myself together and remember something that I want an answer to. "Ash? Do you know who Luke is?"
